Rurushi woke up early the next morning.
'I thought he was going to make a nighttime visit, but… I see, he wants to take things slowly~' She didn't dislike it that way, after all, they had just met.
Although she had been attracted to him and several things had led her to accept his 'marriage proposal'… She didn't mind letting the tide take its course.
When she went downstairs, she was still amazed by the feeling of sleeping in the bed that Zaydas had given her.
'Even the beds are better than those of the nobles… Seriously, he's a box full of surprises.' She thought with a slight upward-curved smile.
In the kitchen, she heard noises of something being cut. As she got closer, she heard:
"Wahh, isn't it too big?"
'Asia?' She thought, and soon heard Zaydas' voice.
"Well, it's a little big, but it's okay, look."
'What are they doing in the kitchen?!' She was fully awake now.
"I-I did it!"
As soon as she heard Asia's exclamation, she was even more certain that something was going on and went to take a peek, but…
In the kitchen, Asia and Zaydas were cooking, and in Asia's hand was a knife that she was using to cut potatoes.
'What a confusing way to say things…' She thought, feeling embarrassed for having assumed they were doing something erotic.
Going to the living room, she sat down on the sofa.
She closed her eyes to the sound of the rain dripping onto the house's roof.
'I wonder if it will rain for a long time…'
If it rained, she believed they wouldn't be working in the orchard, which, by the way, still had many golden fruits to harvest.
It was almost unbelievable, actually—whenever they picked them, a few hours later, new golden fruits would start growing.
Although they had harvested all the golden fruits yesterday with Zaydas' help, she believed that after an entire night, new golden fruits must have already grown.
On that, she wasn't wrong. After Zaydas saw the benefits of the golden fruits, he buried magicle crystal shards in the orchard soil—crystals he had taken from the cave where Veldora had been sealed before.
...
Ria was the first of the elves to wake up. She moved Rikoto, who had been lying with her head on Ria's belly, and got out of bed.
In the bathroom, she touched her most intimate area…
She still had that sensation of being filled, even at that moment.
When she finished her bath, she dried herself with a towel and left the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe.
Using a spell, she created the standard elf outfit.
'By the way, Zaydas made clothes for me…' A smile curled on her lips as she thought about it.
Leaving the room without waking her sisters, she wanted to go to her own room to try on the clothes.
"Oh, you're awake."
In the hallway, she saw Zaydas smiling at her.
It was such a beautiful smile that it almost felt unfair.
"I came to call you for breakfast." He says: "Are the girls awake?"
"Not yet." Ria replied: "I was going to get something from my room before waking them up."
"I see." He approached her: "But putting that aside, are you okay after yesterday? I kind of feel like I pushed you too much..."
Although a little surprised, she laughed: "Oh… Fufu, don't worry about me. But I was really surprised, you know? Even though we were seven, how did you manage to handle us so well?"
"Well… For that question, the answer must be because… I am Zaydas?" He joked, striking a few poses.
"Fufu, how manly and wonderful~" Even though she said it in a playful tone, she was very serious about it, almost tempted to jump on him...
Is it wrong for her to want to throw him on the bed right now and lick every part of his body?
Huh... Her eyes darkened a little dangerously...
...
Zaydas could sense something peculiar in her eyes. If he wasn't mistaken, she was 'hungry.' Well… Breakfast was ready, but that wasn't exactly what she seemed to want to satisfy herself with right now.
By the way, his body had become extraordinary in so many ways. It was already unusual for being the body of a half-Devil and half-Meta-Human. Not to brag or anything, but with the addition of the Healthy Body, he had become an tireless machine.
This was something he definitely wouldn't have imagined achieving in his previous life.
After saying goodbye to Ria with a kiss, he went to call the elves.
...
Later, in the dining room, some elves who were still sleepy woke up when the delicious smell reached them.
"Thank Asia, she helped me prepare all this." Zaydas said.
"Thank you~" They said in unison.
Timidly, Asia said: "I only helped a little, most of it was done by Zaydas-san."
"Is it just us?" Rizu asked.
"Yes, Hiraku-san is eating at his house with Rafa and the rest." Zaydas replied.
Hearing this, no one else touched on the subject.
"By the way, I gave them six bottles of golden wine." Zaydas said: "And, Hiraku-san said to pick up some vegetables and fruits from him later."
"Okay~"
Although the wine was precious, Hiraku was a friend of Zaydas, and the elves were relatives of the other elves. There was no reason to be stingy with them.
...
After breakfast, Zaydas asked: "Do any of you have experience milking cows?"
Although he hadn't checked yet, he knew that two of the cows he had brought had given birth to a calf before he brought them to this dimension, meaning they produced milk.
"I do." Ria raised her hand. In fact, all the elves raised their hands.
"Very well, Ria and Risu will come with me to milk the cows." He started assigning tasks: "The rest, can you help me check if the chickens laid eggs? By the way, do you know how to tell if an egg is fertilized or not?"
"Yes, we do." The elves answered.
"Very well, then I leave the chicken coop to you." He then looked at Rurushi and Asia: "As for you two... Actually, I have some flower seeds. I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to make a flower bed around the mansion, what do you think?"
"I want to do that!" Asia exclaimed excitedly.
"I'll help." Rurushi replied.
The truth was that the entire mansion's land had been weeded by him with the hoe, meaning it had become a very fertile piece of land. Even without planting directly, the simple fact that the soil had become more nutritious with the powers of the All-Purpose Farming Tool meant he didn't need to be directly involved now.
...
Meanwhile, flying with a pair of wings resembling angel wings, made of pure white feathers, a woman dressed in white with blonde hair and yellow eyes looked incredibly frustrated.
"Rurushi, where the hell did you go!" She shouted.
She had been searching for Rurushi for days but still hadn't found any clues about her.
When she landed in a village, she spoke with the locals, and one of them gave her a lead.
"Oh, are you talking about the beautiful silver-haired girl?" One of the village's older natives said. "She was a very kind girl and seemed to be doing some kind of research on rare plants and herbs. When I mentioned the Forest of Death, she seemed interested. Now, I don't know if she went there or not."
"Thank you, you've helped me!" Saying this, the angelic girl made a pair of wings appear and took off again.
In the air, she said: "Wait for me, Rurushi!!"
...
Unaware that someone dangerous was very close to finding her, Rurushi was happily planting flowers alongside Asia.
"By the way, Asia," Rurushi suddenly asked, "what do you think about asking Zaydas to plant a tree on each side of the entrance to the mansion's land?"
"That's a great idea!" Asia agreed with a cute smile. "Let's talk to him about it later."
Rurushi nodded.
'What a cute girl.'
...
Zaydas had never milked a cow before, but he had general knowledge, whether from watching TV programs that demonstrated it or from books he had read.
But before starting to milk the cows... He needed to rethink a few things...
One of the cows he had named had grown to twice the size of the others. Fortunately, it hadn't become carnivorous, but it would be complicated for the elves to milk if all the cows were this size.
The bull he named also grew to twice the size. When it tried to get aggressive, Zaydas let a bit of his aura escape, and the bull calmed down...
By the way, the bull, Barente, gained an Extra Skill when named. The skill [Valiant].
A bit similar to Stallion, but inferior at the same time. The named cow gained the Extra Skill: [Producer].
Seriously, it was as if the gods were smiling at him.
Simply put, the cow, Mimosa, could produce milk even without giving birth to a calf. And her milk was more nutritious than that of common cows.
'Maybe it's a good idea to replicate her skill and give it to other cows if it's that useful.' Although it cost 500 AP to replicate such a skill, it would still be worth it.
'For now, I'll try to see if Mimosa and Barente end up having a calf together.' Zaydas thought. 'If their offspring inherit their abilities, I won't need to spend my precious AP to replicate Mimosa's skill.'
"Zaydas, how are you going to milk Mimosa?" Ria asked.
Well, it was obvious that she would want to know about that...
"I have my ways." He began to grow, making his clothes grow along with him, not wanting to create any unnecessary scenes, and soon became a five-meter-tall giant.
"Wow~!"
Gasps of surprise echoed as he transformed.
After shrinking, he said, "I can increase my size like this or use telekinesis."
"I see..." Ria replied dreamily.
"Hey, where are you looking?" Zaydas called her attention.
Licking her lips seductively, she said, "Ufufu. I wasn't looking at anything specific, I just got lost in thought..."
"Really?"
"Yes, believe me!"
"Okay."
"Seriously?"
"..."
───────────
In the chicken coop, there was a pompous rooster with black feathers and obsidian-black eyes, three times the size of common roosters. And a yellow hen with blue eyes, twice the size of regular hens.
"These must be Sasuke and Naruto that Zaydas mentioned... But why does Naruto keep trying so hard to get Sasuke's attention, only to be ignored?" Riri asked.
Rita answered, "Who knows... Maybe she's in love? But... I think it's not just her, there are also other hens circling around this specific rooster."
"Well, he is different from the other roosters." Rizu said with a gentle smile. "Anyway, let's collect the infertile eggs."
When the hens tried to attack them, the elves handled it easily. Even when the hen Naruto came to defend the eggs she had incubated, despite being infertile, she only ended up losing a few feathers and learning a lesson.
Meanwhile, the rooster Sasuke seemed to mock her, raising his crest and then beginning to crow.
"Shut up!" Rifu, who had heard the crowing up close— incredibly loud— felt a bit of a headache and glared fiercely at him.
Although something like sweat seemed to form, Sasuke pretended not to be afraid but didn't dare to puff himself up... Literally.
...
Mimosa produced 50 liters of milk... Seriously, that was in a short span of 30 minutes.
If he kept going, he might be able to extract more, but it wasn't necessary.
"So, we won't be milking the other cows anymore?" Risu asked, breathing through her nose.
Her voice sounded incredibly cute, even cuter than Asia's.
'Is she trying to imitate Asia?' Zaydas wondered and then answered her question: "We still can. Even if not for us, we can still share with Hiraku and the rest."
"That's a good idea~" Ria agreed.
It wasn't like he would give all the good stuff to Hiraku. He also didn't expect Hiraku to do the same for him.
But he did intend to share some of Mimosa's milk. However, most of it would still remain with him.
'When I go home, I'll take some of Mimosa's milk to share with Grayfia-nee and the rest.'
...
At the fish pond, Zaydas saw that Burida and Hiyokana had completed their evolution, growing to 100 and 110 cm, with Burida being the largest.
Zaydas made Hiyokana float out of the water and placed him in the same slot as Burida.
By the way, Burida evolved into a species called Mother Carp. And Hiyokana into Elegant Carp.
When Burida saw Hiyokana, she swam over to him and started rubbing against him...
'Mm, so this is the effect of the skill making her attracted to him, with Hiyokana having the [Stallion] skill...'
Leaving the two alone, he looked at the lake and saw the plants growing in the water.
'Everything is going very well.'
"Zaydas?"
Looking at Risu, he said, "Sorry for the delay."
"It's okay." She asked, "What will we do now?"
"It's very likely that the harvest I prepared to feed the animals is ready. Let's gather everyone to harvest."
"Okay~" She and Ria agreed.
